I have broken this out of this post as I am separating all of the commands into there own blog post. Creates a temp repo on the mac, Kills the old version, removes the old version, downloads the latest version, mounts, installs, and removes the temp files. It follows a similar structure to the other commands I have posted. Slack is available on any device, so you can find and access your team and your work, whether you’re at your desk or on the go. The next script talks you through how to install Slack for macOS using JumpCloud Commands. So it is completly silent in the background

But MS Teams (also electron) works fine.** December 2020 Update ** – This script has been updated, so when it mounts the DMG it now doesnt pop up wiht the folder. Here, you can find the type of operating system you have - either 64-bit or 32-bit. You’ll see the system information on the next screen, look for System Type. Maybe a coincidence but the productivity biz app “Monday” (also electron) is having a similar issue too - launches to a blank window and eventually requires a force-quit. To find out what kind of processor you have, follow these steps: Go to Windows Explorer, right-click on This PC and then select Properties.

While everything below is just my opinion, as a long-time Mac user and veteran software engineer, I hope my opinion worth something. Both fail to launch.ĭoes anyone have any ideas how remediate this? Or have a complete list of every file that gets installed on macOS?Įdit: Slack is an electron “web app” so I’m pretty sure there is something like a local cache that got corrupted. There are two ways to download Slack for Mac: from the App Store, or the Slack downloads page.

I have tried both the Mac App Store version and the stand-alone download. I have tried to nuke the app and every resource in ~/ but clearly I’m missing some caches etc. Most of the time I have to force quit the app. Slack works fine on other computers and devices.īehavior: The Slack app launches and the icon appears in a Dock, but the main Slack window is blank/white and nothing ever renders. My account is fine and the website works too. About a week ago Slack quit launching on one of my Macs.
